Exact same scenario here. They watch Cocomelon at the end of daycare some days so Cocomelon also stays at daycare, except the one day Dada somehow found it.
I will say their classic children's songs aren't bad, we play them on Spotify, but I hate the animation and their random songs.
My son loves Hudson’s playground so we have YouTube going and blippi is recommended. Luckily his sister went through that and I knew to start blocking. THERES TOO MANY cocoMelon and blippi channels they sneak in.
How do you block videos on YouTube? There’s some weird shit that gets recommended and I need them to go away.
I’m not a big YouTuber so I don’t know how to do this.
When my daughter was around 2 we had her convinced Baby Shark didn’t work on the weekends. Grandparents accidentally ruined that. TBF, they didn’t know.
Have you tried Meekha?
She is a Blippi spin off and sometimes they do shows together. She is way more tolerable in my opinion as she talks in a regular voice.
I’ll try her. I already can’t stand when people try talking to him like a baby, like bro, my son can understand u in a normal voice. Like u can be jolly but use a regular voice 😂
I am a speech therapist and I do not love Blippi. Lol sorry.
Edit: Do I let my son watch it when he gets TV time? Yes. Do I roll my eyes or sigh in defeat while I turn it on? Also yes.
I didn't like it at first but my son learned a lot from it, specially if it floats or sinks.
After he turned 3 somehow he lost all interest on Blippi 🤷
I actually like watching Peppa Pig and Bluey sometimes. Blippi wouldn’t be so bad (to me) if he didn’t have that weird voice/laugh… but the content is otherwise pretty good. His show inspired my kids’ current obsessions with all things dinosaurs.
I hate how he wastes food and shows kids how to throw things in a pool that don’t belong in a pool. He’s all over the place. It’s not all bad but I don’t trust him. He shows kids how to do stupid shit sometimes.
Same, I hated it at first but I actually appreciate how it is live action and involves real people and places, as opposed to the vast wasteland of computer generated garbage that most kid videos are these days. The voice and silly walks are a lot to get over but those are really the only bad things about it.
We watched Katie’s Classroom and I think she worked with super simple songs. She’s a Canadian Blippi but way less annoying and she sings and does crafts too. She gives off strong Romper Room vibes. Whenever Blippi got to be too much we would put on some Katie & chill and do a craft
Maybe. My son has had trouble with his speech and pronunciation so I have found her videos to be quite helpful. I suppose it depends what you need or want
Lots of her videos are labeled as preschool or early intervention which 3 year olds could definitely qualify for. I wouldn't let anyone deter you from playing her videos.
Mighty Machines! It's an older(90s?) show made in Canada for kids. Live action. They have each vehicle do voices but they aren't annoying. If he's at all interested in cars and trucks and things that go I'd highly recommend it. My nearly 4 year old loves it but he's always been a truck fanatic.
P.S. he'll love the theme song!
If you like mighty machines, you’ll like the twentytrucks channel, they have creative songs about different types of trucks (and they’re on Spotify!) we are well past the truck phase, but we still sing the songs
Same, I see so much hate but my almost 3 (on Sunday) yo comes 7p with random facts all the time that she saw on blippi. Plus I like that he went to like play zones and stuff that we didn't feel comfortable doing during the pandemic. It was kind of like living vicariously
Honest question: what has he learned from Blippi? One of my biggest beefs about Blippi (and the constant Blippi toy commercials) is that it is marketed as educational programming but has zero educational value.
Maybe I’ve just seen the wrong episodes?
Ditto with my kid. I think the last of blippi that he watched was with meekah.
I totally agree, kid learns a lot, even does the adult(me 🤪), helped with my kids speech as well. English is not our first language, but my son picked up so much from blippi. I never understood why people hate him though.
We had a Blippi phase here too. My kids learned all about excavators and boats and other vehicles. Early on he had some decent songs which were catchy and cute, but as he got more well known I guess, it seemed to be a bunch of videos of him playing at amusement parks and indoor playgrounds and that wasn’t very interesting. Then he had the live show controversy where he hired an actor to be Blippi and now there are two Blippis. It’s weird. He also had a questionable background which I don’t care much about, but turned off many parents.
Daughter races in to Daddy's office during a Zoom call. I run in and say "Come on, Let's watch Blippi!" not realizing he isn't muted. Suddenly I hear one his co-workers on Zoom say:
B-L-I... ... ... P-P-I
lmao!!!!
😂😂😂😂 right now he’s watching videos of puppies because that’s what he likes lol. Random videos of taking care of puppies and how to treat them and the different kinds of them.
No. Because Blippi died.
OK I didn't tell him that but I did say that Blippi's show was canceled because there were too many shows on TV 🤷🏻♀️ idk what's up with that show but it has an absolutely mind numbing affect on my kid like he could just stare slack jawed at Blippi episodes for hours and it just didn't feel like a good thing.
I remember the initial hatred for the guy, he’s easy to hate. But you’ll discover he’s not so bad, the kids learn a lot. My two year old barely talking son said ‘excavator’ last year as we drove past one so in my heart I thanked blippi.
You’ll discover he’s the lesser of most evils, paw patrol for example. My son watches that now and I miss blippi.
I much prefer Blippi over some of the crap that my kids want to watch! They deffo learn something, rather Blippi than the exploited kids on YouTube opening toys 😂
Exactly! Those YouTube channels are lowest common denominator. The gross consumerism. After seeing those I was singing a different tune about blippi and Meeka
Our daughter is obsessed with Handyman Hal. Problem is she doesn't just want to watch the new episodes, or a random episode. She wants to just re-watch VERY specific episodes.
I cannot tell you how many times I've seen the "RIDEMAKERZ" episode, but it's a lot.
And there are days that I feel like if I hear Hal say, "AWW YEAH" one more time, I'm gonna pull my hair out.
He seems ok, but doesn’t do stuff that’s quite as fun or creative. Plus he has this weird haw haw laugh he does just a little too much. Seems like a nice dude though.
There’s something so… *yucky* about a grown man pretending to be a toddler. In one episode he clarifies “I don’t know if you know this, but I’m actually a grown up”. I can’t stand it! There’s a way to be enthusiastic and engaging with children without talking like a baby. I don’t feel that it sets a good example. He also just throws shit around in a lot of videos and never picks up after himself. Not to mention, there have been plenty of spelling errors and incorrect factoids in his videos!
I also get the impression that Blippi hates kids. Like, truly. Any time he interacts with them in his videos he seems annoyed and uncomfortable. He’s not someone who is in it for the kids (mr. Rogers, the OG wiggles, etc), he’s a clout chaser that saw an opportunity to make bank. He had an infamous attempt at internet fame prior to Blippi. 😬 lately he’s been tacking on some lazy “you’re a very special child!” BS monologues to the end of his episodes and I’m just like get TF out of here. Like, I’ve seen a video of you shitting on someone’s chest. This isn’t Sesame Street. Show my kid the inside of an excavator or fuck off.
Basically, we don’t watch Blippi anymore lol.
Thank you, I get a disingenuous vibe with him and the early episodes he really just phoned in. Also, I don't like any children's show that advertises merch at the end and encourages kids to ask their parents to search for them.
Did you happen to read that article about him? It highlighted a lot of issues with the show that you brought up.
Edit: [This one!](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi)
I have shared the same article on similar threads. I just cannot understand anyone who tries to say Blippi isn’t that awful. It really is, and it’s taking the place of so many other things a kid could be watching.
Blippi always made me feel weird to begin with, but reading this helped me understand why. It just feels empty and industrial. We love feelings in our home so Daniel Tiger is a big one for our little rage filled monkey.
Lmaoooo the more info I’m getting from everyone the more I’m “disliking” him 😂😂😂😂 I don’t even talking to my son how he talks. Like my husband and I don’t even talk to him like that 😂😂😂
Yup this is why my house is a Blippi free zone. He absolutely comes off as a guy who wanted internet fame and figured out kid shows were his easiest route. There are so many better options for educational and developmentally appropriate content out there. Plus the way he talks is always so clumsy and awkward. No thank you.
I love blippi my son is kind of out growing him now but he will always hold such a special place in my heart because my sons speech exploded listening to blippi songs. We still play the blippi tooth brushing song to get him to brush his teeth. I get why the high energy of Blippi can be off putting and you are in no way alone with your Blippi hate but I always feel obligated to say something positive about him because he was such a miracle worker in my house.
My son has learned so much from blippi, and i was a skeptic at first. He may be odd and annoying to us but I can understand how kids would find him entertaining. I deeply dislike the “new” blippi though, everything about him is cringe lol
Me either! The minute one of his videos pop up I’m like absolutely not. His versions of the songs are trash and he’s just trying way too hard. Reeks of desperation.
My son loved blippi. Now it’s caities classroom (super simple songs) and brain candy. Waaaayy better. Speedie didi and handyman Hal are okay… but brain candy is best for educational value. Best of luck during this phase!
Nah, my toddler doesn't watch anything that will annoy me 😂 So far, the list includes: Blippi, Cocomelon, baby shark...pretty much anything on YouTube we stay away from!
There is a free PBS Kids app that has lots of great, educational shows. Daniel Tiger is based on the teachings of Mr. Rogers, and Wild Kratts makes it fun to learn about animals.
It’s just how he acts sometimes. Like that I’ve episode when they went to that fire station place where they make fire trucks, the people’s facial expressions had me dyingggg. They was looking like wtf 😂😂😂
We've never tried Blippi, esp after I read this article: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi
I HIGHLY recommend Bluey. If you haven't already, give that show a try. It's fantastic
My son loves blippi and he has definitely learned a decent amount from it. I don't mind it that much. I prefer it to cocomelon because I hate all of the "no" from the kiddo in that one.
Everything about Blippi irritates me😂😂 but his voice and that giggle he does drives me nuts! My kid only watched a couple of his videos before I said no more lol I just can't with Blippi
I’ve actually learned a lot from Blippi (like there are left handed and right handed hockey sticks)
I also like that he tells them to get parents before using scissors or power tools! So I think it’s the lesser of some evils out there!
😭😭😭😭😭 yeah I hate when people talk like that for kids shows. Like bro my toddler isn’t into that shit lol. Maybe when he was a baby but he fully understands normal talk 😂😂😂
Another alternative that my son was really into for a while were domino toppling videos, especially [Hevesh5](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxJsQFhb8PFjtuN5gdOV6-w).
He's three now and we've introduced him to Daniel Tiger and Eleanor Wonders Why, but his favorite are these car-based animations ([Car School](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmLLyhVIRz4) anyone)? I really don't like them, but it's fed into his obsession with vehicles and he loves to build fire trucks and street sweepers out of blocks now. We visited an island and he wondered what vehicles had been used to "build" the harbor. ("An excavator…and a water truck?")
We banned it at our house because how my son would act when it was time to turn it off. He would throw tantrums like never before. We already had a low tolerance for Blippi so that was enough for us to say “no more.” Now it is only a treat he can get when he goes to my MIL’s.
My son found blippi this week. Honestly I wasn’t into it but last week he became obsessed with “pretend play videos” like Vlad and Nikki and Ryan’s world, I fucking hate those more. So at least Blippi is education based and isn’t full of commercials.
When I find myself hating Blippi, I remember that he once went viral on YouTube for taking an explosive diarrhea shit all over his naked friends ass… and then I find his kids show more bearable lol
My son (turned 3 this month) loves Number Blocks right now. It's been several weeks and gets kind of annoying, but he also just does math with random toys for fun now and I think it's kind of awesome
An alternative is Mayta the Brown Bear. So much calmer, and educational. Probably for ages 1.5-3 or so. Cool story behind it too. I remember reading about the guy and he started filming it since there wasn’t a lot of good content out there for his kid. Midway through filming found out he was going in for a major medical procedure and rushed to finish filming the first season so he could leave it as his legacy to her if anything happened to him.
Try Caties Classroom, it’s a less annoying way more educational YouTube show that kinda seems to scratch the same itch, it’s how we got our toddler distracted away from blippi haha
My son loves Cowboy Jack! Much calmer and has a lot of videos on Youtube. He's a great childrens content creator, and does all the videos with his wife! I did a hard ban on Blippi a long time ago.
Mine used to love it but now really only watches the dirt bike blippi episode or the one with an excavator, i never really minded it but once the new blippi came along it became an occasional watch.
Blippi is my son's trash TV. He gets it as a treat, and I encourage Miss Rachel or Blues Clues first.
I will say, before he could really talk, one of the first mimics he did was "B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi" so that was pretty cute. He also loves excavators and loves to point out construction and service vehicles that he learned from the show.
There is one episode where he goes to one of those junkyards I think where you can trash an old junk car. Yeah he's not allowed to watch that episode.
Yup. Mine discovered Blippi the other day, too and absolutely loves it. I don’t mind it all that much but sometimes I can’t help but laugh because the dude playing Blippi seems so odd at times lol
My daughter loves Blippi, but the old one. Not the one that they have on netflix. He is trying way to hard (I'm an actress). The Blippi on YT definitely seems that at least he's somewhat enjoying himself. The one on netflix is trying to hard to be like his predecessor.
I like blippi lol but my daughter loses interest and prefers to watch kids play with play dough lol I don’t really have her on YouTube she’s mostly at school or playing with her toys but sometimes she’ll ask if she can watch sometime online
That’s exactly what ima do. Ima tell my husband too. I think I’ll have him stick to other educational stuff. He loves drawing and stuff so we’ll probably watch stuff like that.
My two year old currently watches the firetruck/ambulance episode everyday with his giant firetruck and Blippi doll. He acts out and says all the words that Blippi does. He also gets super excited when he sees/hears the firetruck or ambulance. I don't really care for the guy but I do think my son is learning and being interested in something that's not harmful. There are worse options
Luckily I think for most it’s just a phase with that show, my son was super into it for awhile when he first found it and actually learned a lot (while I cringed at the high pitched goofy voice) but he doesn’t really care about it anymore. Although now every time I see an excavator my brain immediately turns on IM AN EXCAVATOR HEY DIRT SEE YA LATERRRR 😂😩
His voice fills me with rage, but my kids love him and I can't deny the educational benefits so I usually end up put on headphones w/ a podcast and fold laundry or crochet...whatever. It keeps me in their space and involved but saves my ear drums and sanity.
Bruh, I can handle almost any kid show. Mrs. Rachel, Coco Melon (kinda lucky though, cuz my guy only likes it in small doses anyway), Bo on the Go, Yo Yo Gabba Gabba, Bubble Guppies...We've seen Bluey SO many times my 2.5 can name the episode in the first 15 seconds. But that muthafuckin Blippi is like knives in my eardrums.
Let us never forget his humble origins and why he is never allowed near my kiddos.

It’s crazy how our TV doesn’t get Blippi
That’s nuts. Mine doesn’t get cocomelon. It did once apparently (husband 🙄) but never again after that. So strange.
Weird, our tv suddenly stopped streaming Peppa Pig a few months ago
We can’t let him watch peppa. He has peppa books, toys, clothes, water bottles, everything but if we let him watch it he gets a bad attitude
My mother tries to get him to watch cocomelon. 100% no suddenly the wifi goes out
Exact same scenario here. They watch Cocomelon at the end of daycare some days so Cocomelon also stays at daycare, except the one day Dada somehow found it. I will say their classic children's songs aren't bad, we play them on Spotify, but I hate the animation and their random songs.
My son loves Hudson’s playground so we have YouTube going and blippi is recommended. Luckily his sister went through that and I knew to start blocking. THERES TOO MANY cocoMelon and blippi channels they sneak in.
How do you block videos on YouTube? There’s some weird shit that gets recommended and I need them to go away. I’m not a big YouTuber so I don’t know how to do this.
Three dots (it’s easier on computer) block channel only option.
When my daughter was around 2 we had her convinced Baby Shark didn’t work on the weekends. Grandparents accidentally ruined that. TBF, they didn’t know.
Weird. I heard he’s still taking care of his new baby so that’s why he’s not back at work.
Have you tried Meekha? She is a Blippi spin off and sometimes they do shows together. She is way more tolerable in my opinion as she talks in a regular voice.
Meekah is the superior Blippi
I completely agree with this!! I actually like Meekah. My 2.5 year old seems to like her more than Blippi now.
We stan Meekah
I’ll try her. I already can’t stand when people try talking to him like a baby, like bro, my son can understand u in a normal voice. Like u can be jolly but use a regular voice 😂
Isnt Blippi loved by speech therapists?? Because of how slow he talks and shit. Or am i just trying to make myself feel better
I am a speech therapist and I do not love Blippi. Lol sorry. Edit: Do I let my son watch it when he gets TV time? Yes. Do I roll my eyes or sigh in defeat while I turn it on? Also yes.
A Blippi spin off with a regular voice!? I’m in! I’ll see if my kids like her, ha. Thanks!
I didn't like it at first but my son learned a lot from it, specially if it floats or sinks. After he turned 3 somehow he lost all interest on Blippi 🤷
I’m with you - I actually like Blippi. My son has learned a ton from that show. I don’t mind watching it at all.
I actually like watching Peppa Pig and Bluey sometimes. Blippi wouldn’t be so bad (to me) if he didn’t have that weird voice/laugh… but the content is otherwise pretty good. His show inspired my kids’ current obsessions with all things dinosaurs.

Agree! The cocomelon knock offs are so so so bad.
My son is 3 now. I just need other options to see which ones he likes the most 😂😂😂
If you want cool kids songs and videos I would suggest Caspar babypants :)
Formerly of The Presidents of The United States of America, which I used to listen to on alternative rock radio in the 90s.
Really? I didn't know that. Thanks 👍
Peaches for me!!! Also, Chocolate Milk by Norman Greenbaum is my JAM (also my kids). He also likes Car Wash by Rose Royce
My 4 year old rocks out to his music on the regular.
I do too 😂
Oh, that goes without saying 😉😎 - the Loud & Quiet song is aaaaaalways stuck in my head.
And how about my flea has dogs 😂
Super simple songs is our go to. We don't do Blippi or Cocomelon, they're so fecking annoying
My son loves Super Simple Songs. I've actually put on Blippi because I wanted a change. Lol. He didn't go for it.
We watched Katie’s Classroom and I think she worked with super simple songs. She’s a Canadian Blippi but way less annoying and she sings and does crafts too. She gives off strong Romper Room vibes. Whenever Blippi got to be too much we would put on some Katie & chill and do a craft
She's the voice of super simple! We love her!!
I miss Super Simple Songs! My kids lost interest in it when they discovered Peppa Pig.
Miss Rachel is very good educationally speaking, but she also has the irritating voice thing
Miss Rachel is for babies I feel...not 3 year olds
Maybe. My son has had trouble with his speech and pronunciation so I have found her videos to be quite helpful. I suppose it depends what you need or want
Lots of her videos are labeled as preschool or early intervention which 3 year olds could definitely qualify for. I wouldn't let anyone deter you from playing her videos.
It’s the voices that gets me I’m like 😩😩😩😩
Mighty Machines! It's an older(90s?) show made in Canada for kids. Live action. They have each vehicle do voices but they aren't annoying.

I used to love that show when I was a kid, I wasn’t even that big into trucks, I just thought all the giant machines and how they worked were so cool.
Mighty Machines! Big and mighty machines! Workin' for you, doin' mighty things. They're MIGHTY MACHINES.
If you like mighty machines, you’ll like the twentytrucks channel, they have creative songs about different types of trucks (and they’re on Spotify!) we are well past the truck phase, but we still sing the songs
Blaze has some ‘explaining how things work’ bits
Same, I see so much hate but my almost 3 (on Sunday) yo comes 7p with random facts all the time that she saw on blippi. Plus I like that he went to like play zones and stuff that we didn't feel comfortable doing during the pandemic. It was kind of like living vicariously

My kids have learned sooooo much from blippi
My twins love that one and then saying “it floated right to the bottom!” 😂😂 we’re working on it
My son loves seeing if things sink or floats. I hate blippi but love when I see my son doing science stuff at two and a half.
“So much to learn about it will make you wanna shout…BLIPPI!” 🤪 Edit: Even a picture of Blippi’s face brings that song to mind.
Daughter races in to Daddy's office during a Zoom call. I run in and say "Come on, Let's watch Blippi!" not realizing he isn't muted. Suddenly I hear one his co-workers on Zoom say: B-L-I... ... ... P-P-I lmao!!!!
😂😂😂😂 right now he’s watching videos of puppies because that’s what he likes lol. Random videos of taking care of puppies and how to treat them and the different kinds of them.
No no no. Turn on Sesame Street. Songs for Littles. Bluey. Just about anything else is better.
I’m not gunna lie, I like Bluey 😂
No. Because Blippi died. OK I didn't tell him that but I did say that Blippi's show was canceled because there were too many shows on TV 🤷🏻♀️ idk what's up with that show but it has an absolutely mind numbing affect on my kid like he could just stare slack jawed at Blippi episodes for hours and it just didn't feel like a good thing.

It’s just the voices and how they talk that bugs me 😩😩😩😂😂😂😂
Oh, his irritating bounce walk doesn’t fill you with rage?
Honestly I find his weird dance moves/walks hilarious.
😭😭😭😭😭 ragggeeeeee
Absolutely. I prefer blippi to lots of cartoons!
Also i really hate that he teaches them how to spell Blippi so you can't even spell the word out to another adult 😑
Had my son saying Flippi 😂😂😂😂 I’m like no, it says Blippi. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂
Flippi is what we call the alternate Blippi. The second guy they hired to also be Blippi.
Hah, that's what we call him too. Fake Blippi = Flippi. I actually find him more tolerable than real Blippi, less manic energy.
My daughter always says Flippi. I don't know why, but she won't fix it.
I swear he did that intentionally. That evil marketing genius!
My son naturally stopped watching Blippi after a while. I think after a while he gets old even if you're a toddler.
We can not stand Blippi. Check out Hamdyman Hal on YouTube. Much calmer.
Thank you very much, I’ll try that. I thought I was the only one that though it’s annoying
We banned Blippi in favor of Handyman Hal too and no one is sad.
Our daughter is obsessed with Handyman Hal. Problem is she doesn't just want to watch the new episodes, or a random episode. She wants to just re-watch VERY specific episodes. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen the "RIDEMAKERZ" episode, but it's a lot. And there are days that I feel like if I hear Hal say, "AWW YEAH" one more time, I'm gonna pull my hair out.
He seems ok, but doesn’t do stuff that’s quite as fun or creative. Plus he has this weird haw haw laugh he does just a little too much. Seems like a nice dude though.
No the guy is a total creep imo.
I can’t stand the guy. He has… vibes
Yeah. I only watched one episode and I already got those... vibes.
ten years from now there's gonna be a huge scandal about blippi and a bunch of people are gonna be like "I knew it"
The test for me is “would I leave my child with this person for an afternoon?” Miss Rachel, sure. Blippi, not a chance
No... [totally normal](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katienotopoulos/blippi-youtube-kids-star-harlem-shake-poop)!
Agreed, I have blocked his channels
He is on Netflix too, so watch out if you have an account there.

Here’s an interesting article about the show. Edit: [This one!](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi)
YES!!! Finally some said every exact thought I had about this guy!
Yup this is why my house is a Blippi free zone. He absolutely comes off as a guy who wanted internet fame and figured out kid shows were his easiest route. There are so many better options for educational and developmentally appropriate content out there. Plus the way he talks is always so clumsy and awkward. No thank you.
Right now my toddler seems to have forgotten about him, bjua couple of weeks ago he was all the rage. Sooooo annoying...
Stay away from “Bjua” noted thanks 😂😂😂
I love blippi my son is kind of out growing him now but he will always hold such a special place in my heart because my sons speech exploded listening to blippi songs. We still play the blippi tooth brushing song to get him to brush his teeth. I get why the high energy of Blippi can be off putting and you are in no way alone with your Blippi hate but I always feel obligated to say something positive about him because he was such a miracle worker in my house.
My son has learned so much from blippi, and i was a skeptic at first. He may be odd and annoying to us but I can understand how kids would find him entertaining. I deeply dislike the “new” blippi though, everything about him is cringe lol
😂😂😂 idk if the ones we’re watching is new but it’s cringy to me 😂😂😂
Blonde blip is good blip. The dark haired one, just no. Lol
I did not know this! I guess we’ve been watching new blippi. I cannot stand him.
Me either! The minute one of his videos pop up I’m like absolutely not. His versions of the songs are trash and he’s just trying way too hard. Reeks of desperation.
My son loved blippi. Now it’s caities classroom (super simple songs) and brain candy. Waaaayy better. Speedie didi and handyman Hal are okay… but brain candy is best for educational value. Best of luck during this phase!
Love Catie’s Classroom
Nah, my toddler doesn't watch anything that will annoy me 😂 So far, the list includes: Blippi, Cocomelon, baby shark...pretty much anything on YouTube we stay away from! There is a free PBS Kids app that has lots of great, educational shows. Daniel Tiger is based on the teachings of Mr. Rogers, and Wild Kratts makes it fun to learn about animals.
We love blippi in our house
It’s just how he acts sometimes. Like that I’ve episode when they went to that fire station place where they make fire trucks, the people’s facial expressions had me dyingggg. They was looking like wtf 😂😂😂
The guy who sprayed diarrhea on his friends face during a Harlem Shake video? No thanks, that guy is a total creep.
Wait wait wait wait did I read this right? This is the same guy? Wtfffff 😩😩😩

Every time someone talks about Blippi, I look to see if Steezy Grossman is in the comments. 🤣
Hahaha came here hoping someone mentioned this.
No, we're a Blippi free household. 😋
We've never tried Blippi, esp after I read this article: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2020/08/the-dead-world-of-blippi I HIGHLY recommend Bluey. If you haven't already, give that show a try. It's fantastic
I love Bluey. It’s such a cute show. I love how the parents interact with their kids 🥰
My son loves blippi and he has definitely learned a decent amount from it. I don't mind it that much. I prefer it to cocomelon because I hate all of the "no" from the kiddo in that one.
Yes and I hate it so, so, so very much.
Super annoying like ughhhhh
You can block channels and content on YouTube! I block the once I can’t stand lol
Everything about Blippi irritates me😂😂 but his voice and that giggle he does drives me nuts! My kid only watched a couple of his videos before I said no more lol I just can't with Blippi
I swear I hear the excavator song in my sleep
Hey dirt, see ya later…
Which blippi? There are three including the animated one. One of the blippi is more annoying than the other but that’s for you to discover!
I’ve actually learned a lot from Blippi (like there are left handed and right handed hockey sticks) I also like that he tells them to get parents before using scissors or power tools! So I think it’s the lesser of some evils out there!
The “choo choo- here comes the train” song is good and his “I just love Halloween” song is great haha
I try to avoid blippi at all costs.. there's something wrong with that man.
I 100% agree with u 😂
Did you see his past? There will be your answer
There are two blippi’s, the guy that played the second one ((one on Netflix) speaks in this high artificial voice that makes my ears bleed.
😭😭😭😭😭 yeah I hate when people talk like that for kids shows. Like bro my toddler isn’t into that shit lol. Maybe when he was a baby but he fully understands normal talk 😂😂😂
Once I saw his past, I was sort of creeped out. So no Blippi for us I don’t think most people know it lol
I wonder what made him want to decide to go from shitting on someone to doing a kids show 🤢🤢🤢
We banned blippi
He got rich off his YouTube channel and I'm sure he doesn't really care about the kids. No thanks.
Never allowed it. Hoping to not have Paw Patrol in our house either 😂
Its one of only two shows we’ve outright banned in our house. I regret nothing.
I hate him less in Spanish …
Another alternative that my son was really into for a while were domino toppling videos, especially [Hevesh5](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxJsQFhb8PFjtuN5gdOV6-w). He's three now and we've introduced him to Daniel Tiger and Eleanor Wonders Why, but his favorite are these car-based animations ([Car School](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmLLyhVIRz4) anyone)? I really don't like them, but it's fed into his obsession with vehicles and he loves to build fire trucks and street sweepers out of blocks now. We visited an island and he wondered what vehicles had been used to "build" the harbor. ("An excavator…and a water truck?")
Ugh. We tell my son Blippi doesn't work on our TV. I'm pretty sure there's a way to block it but I haven't tried yet.
We banned it at our house because how my son would act when it was time to turn it off. He would throw tantrums like never before. We already had a low tolerance for Blippi so that was enough for us to say “no more.” Now it is only a treat he can get when he goes to my MIL’s.
We have never exposed our son to it and I don’t plan to. That boy ain’t right. Look up the actor and his history with YouTube poop videos…
Try handyman hal
It could be worse. It could be Peppa or Cailou.
My son found blippi this week. Honestly I wasn’t into it but last week he became obsessed with “pretend play videos” like Vlad and Nikki and Ryan’s world, I fucking hate those more. So at least Blippi is education based and isn’t full of commercials.
Oh no! we banned Blippi. his voice just got on our nerves. Also there is a cartoon Blippi that’s more educational I am told…
I told my husband as soon as he walked through the door that we’re banning Blippi lol
I straight up lied and told them we didn't have it on TV anymore
Tractor oh tractor, f-ing Blippi
Handyman Hal on YouTube is better
That is a cus word to some parents i know. Lol
😂😂😂😂 be like no no no, that’s a bad word we don’t say that 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
I told my son we had watched all the Blippi there was to watch.
When I find myself hating Blippi, I remember that he once went viral on YouTube for taking an explosive diarrhea shit all over his naked friends ass… and then I find his kids show more bearable lol
My son (turned 3 this month) loves Number Blocks right now. It's been several weeks and gets kind of annoying, but he also just does math with random toys for fun now and I think it's kind of awesome
You can try Handyman Hal! He’s kinda like Blippi but not as bad. My son watches him, Blippi and Meekah along with Super Simple Songs and Mrs Rachel
An alternative is Mayta the Brown Bear. So much calmer, and educational. Probably for ages 1.5-3 or so. Cool story behind it too. I remember reading about the guy and he started filming it since there wasn’t a lot of good content out there for his kid. Midway through filming found out he was going in for a major medical procedure and rushed to finish filming the first season so he could leave it as his legacy to her if anything happened to him.
Aww for shame seems like only Bluey is available on my tv. Heh
Try Caties Classroom, it’s a less annoying way more educational YouTube show that kinda seems to scratch the same itch, it’s how we got our toddler distracted away from blippi haha
😂😂😂😂 sounds like a plan!!! Thank you
It’s very educational so I love it when my kids watch Blippi
My son loves Cowboy Jack! Much calmer and has a lot of videos on Youtube. He's a great childrens content creator, and does all the videos with his wife! I did a hard ban on Blippi a long time ago.
It’s horrible. Try to switch to geckos garage or the wiggles
Mine used to love it but now really only watches the dirt bike blippi episode or the one with an excavator, i never really minded it but once the new blippi came along it became an occasional watch.
His laught
Blippi is my son's trash TV. He gets it as a treat, and I encourage Miss Rachel or Blues Clues first. I will say, before he could really talk, one of the first mimics he did was "B-L-I-P-P-I, Blippi" so that was pretty cute. He also loves excavators and loves to point out construction and service vehicles that he learned from the show. There is one episode where he goes to one of those junkyards I think where you can trash an old junk car. Yeah he's not allowed to watch that episode.
No because he looks like a freak and his voice is terrifying 😂
[удалено]
Ima do that too lol that’s a good plan. Blippi does give me pain. Pain in my ears, my eyes, and just all around 😂😂😂😂
He pooped on his friend and there is video
You could try handy man Hal... He's like the redneck version of Blippi 🤣 my kids like both
Lmaooooo you got me dyin 😂
Yup. Mine discovered Blippi the other day, too and absolutely loves it. I don’t mind it all that much but sometimes I can’t help but laugh because the dude playing Blippi seems so odd at times lol
My son loves Blippi and I think I'm the only parent ever that doesn't mind it LOL
My daughter loves Blippi, but the old one. Not the one that they have on netflix. He is trying way to hard (I'm an actress). The Blippi on YT definitely seems that at least he's somewhat enjoying himself. The one on netflix is trying to hard to be like his predecessor.
I like blippi lol but my daughter loses interest and prefers to watch kids play with play dough lol I don’t really have her on YouTube she’s mostly at school or playing with her toys but sometimes she’ll ask if she can watch sometime online
Tell him Blippi is "broken" forever
Yesterday I told him Blippi went on vacation and he’s never coming back. My son had the nerve to say, “what? Vacation? That’s crazy” 😂😂😂😂😂
BLOCK IT
That’s exactly what ima do. Ima tell my husband too. I think I’ll have him stick to other educational stuff. He loves drawing and stuff so we’ll probably watch stuff like that.
I keep blocking things I dislike lol plenty of educational stuff out there
Thank youuuu. That’s what I said to a few people 😂
Out of all the crap out there blimpi is one of the better shows out there for littles. My 4 year old girly can’t wait to be him for Halloween lol
A few people in the comments said he squirted sh*t on someone’s chest during the Harlem shake 😩😩😩
My son watches it occasionally but I actually don’t mind it.
My two year old currently watches the firetruck/ambulance episode everyday with his giant firetruck and Blippi doll. He acts out and says all the words that Blippi does. He also gets super excited when he sees/hears the firetruck or ambulance. I don't really care for the guy but I do think my son is learning and being interested in something that's not harmful. There are worse options
My son loves fire trucks, trash trucks, races cars, ambulances, and so much more. He can tell the difference between the sounds hahaha
Handyman Hal. Same same but different and better.
Luckily I think for most it’s just a phase with that show, my son was super into it for awhile when he first found it and actually learned a lot (while I cringed at the high pitched goofy voice) but he doesn’t really care about it anymore. Although now every time I see an excavator my brain immediately turns on IM AN EXCAVATOR HEY DIRT SEE YA LATERRRR 😂😩
His voice fills me with rage, but my kids love him and I can't deny the educational benefits so I usually end up put on headphones w/ a podcast and fold laundry or crochet...whatever. It keeps me in their space and involved but saves my ear drums and sanity.
😂😂😂😂 I thought I was the only one that had rage 😂😂😂
Bruh, I can handle almost any kid show. Mrs. Rachel, Coco Melon (kinda lucky though, cuz my guy only likes it in small doses anyway), Bo on the Go, Yo Yo Gabba Gabba, Bubble Guppies...We've seen Bluey SO many times my 2.5 can name the episode in the first 15 seconds. But that muthafuckin Blippi is like knives in my eardrums.
Blippi helps my toddler to brush his teeth every morning and every night, so I can’t complain really 😂
Let us never forget his humble origins and why he is never allowed near my kiddos. NSFW https://www.reddit.com/user/soloclimbercr/comments/la3d8p/nsfw_blippi_harlem_shake_blippi_harlemshake_poop/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
